Spring/Summer Hair 2011

Hair trends are very wearable this season.  We're not talking about stick straight hay hair or braids that wrap around your head, that really only work before the age of 12.  But rather a softer, more style friendly approach.  Many spring shows showed side parts, low pony tails and voluminous hair as the norm.  All three of these options are easy to achieve and are very forgiving regardless of the shape of your face.  The only advice I would give is, find the right product for whatever style you're going for.  A hair spray that's not to stiff is a must and a styling creme with just a small amount of hold will help you get that sexy, wavy bed head look.  Either way have fun with it, don't try to hard and make peace with what you have! xoxo

 

Oscar Worthy!

Calvin Klein

  With the Oscars barely 2 hours old, we're already seeing and hearing the buzz on who killed it, and/ or which celebrity stylist should be killed!  Although the show itself had a lot to be desired for, there were a few standouts that deserve a mention.  Here are my favorites.  Hope you agree! xoxo

Marchesa

Elie Saab

Chanel

The "X" factor!

  There's a new "it" girl in town, Elisa Sednaoui is making her mark through the streets of New York City.  Many of you may not know who she is, but you will.  She has graced many magazine covers, including Elle Italia and Vogue Italia and has nabbed her share of big campaigns such as, DVF, Moschino and Hogan, just to name a few.  As of late you can catch her in the March issue of American BAZAAR.  She gives some insight into her personal style from her incredibly stylish New York apartment.  Hope you like! xoxo

Week in Review...

Michael Kors

  New York fashion week has come to a close.  All in all looks were very wearable and feminine.  Some of the standout trends were nude neutrals to black sophistication.  What gave some dramatic variation was the pop of color thrown into the mix.  Reds, greens and purples are safe wardrobe additions.  London Fashion week is up next, I'm looking forward to the edgier vibe.  xoxo

Christian Siriano

DVF

NY Fashion Week!

  New York fashion week is in full swing.  To date we've seen some amazing shows from Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, and The Row just to name a few.  Although I feel it's way to early to start talking about fall again, I will say we're seeing a consistent trend in big flowing pants.  For spring the return of the 70's bell bottom is huge and that trend will continue for fall 2011.

  Along with the beautiful shows that have been presented, there are some amazing fashions worn by the editors, stylists and socialites attending them.  Fashion today is a free for all and I love the individual expression it brings.  Here are just a few of the standouts.  xoxo

 

 

V day...D day!

  Valentines Day....Hmmm, this is one of those holidays that sometimes makes me cringe.  I know, I know you girls probably don't agree, but hear me out.  This day can hold a lot of expectations that sometimes don't get met.  Inevitably feelings get hurt, people don't feel appreciated or the single girl feels depressed because "nobody loves me".  As much as I like, in theory, sweethearts day, I much prefer to be loved everyday.  If not by someone else, then definitely by me.  So I tell you girls, love yourselves, love your guys (or gals) and love life, everything else is just gravy....xoxo

Watch Out!

  I've been asked quite a bit lately about watches.  What's the trend now?  Where's the trend going? and What's the best classic watch?  Honestly, I answer all of these questions with a question...What do you like?  Watches are a very personal accessory, and along with that can be an expensive endeavor.

   Taking your personal style into consideration is a must.  How do you intend to wear the watch?  Layered with other bracelets or bangles?  Are you more classic or "funky"?  Are you more feminine or masculine?  All of these questions should be answered before you decide to drop any amount of money on a watch.  Regardless of price you want to happy with your decision and have it be a reflection of your personality.  Good luck! xoxo

Always classic

Funky but classic
